Friday marks the 145th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, arguably the greatest war in American history.

To commemorate the war’s end, the Washington Civil War Association and the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War hosted the 12th annual Honoring Their Memory re-enactment and ceremony Saturday at the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery in Snohomish.

Mukilteo Historical Society storytellers and other history buffs from Mukilteo gathered at the cemetery to remember and honor the Union and Confederate veterans of the Civil War.
